What is a Sharkie hairstyle?

The Sharkie hairstyle is a spiky boys haircut, aptly named because its spiked up hair has the resemblance of a shark fin. The Sharkie is basically a mohawk or fauxhawk haircut with a much cooler name, SHARKIE, one the young fellas seem to really like.

The style is characterised by short sides that give way to longer spiked up hair that forms the shark fin.

With punk rock undertones, the Sharkie is real edgy and packs a lot of attitude for a kids haircut. 

The Sharkie is actually quite a versatile haircut. You always have the fundamental spiked up hair that resemble the shark fin. Then, there are many variations in the way the rest of the haircut is made up around this. The sides can be cut all one length, basically a disconnected undercut, can be cut with a taper, skin fade or even a burst fade for a real contemporary take and the ultimate Sharkie haircut.
